And the Winner is...

In all honesty Finding Nemo won the last round, so instead of having the two go up against one another for a third time and prolong this poll/tournament I took the two scores and combined them. So the final tally looks like this:

Monster's Inc. - 41
Finding Nemo - 39

So congratulations to Mike and Sully on a tournament well won!

The final results are as follows:

Supreme Champion: Monster's Inc.

Worthy Adversary: Finding Nemo

Maybe Next Time: The Incredibles

5th place tie: 

Toy Story 

Toy Story 3

7th place tie:

Ratatouille

UP

9th place tie:

Toy Story 2

Brave

A Bug's Life

Cars 2

13th place:

Cars

What do you all think? Did Cars get shafted by being placed in the wrong seed at the beginning? Did Monster's Inc deserve the title? What's up with all the Toy Story movies getting knocked out so early?

Great news though, I have another poll/tournament starting tomorrow. The full title of the poll is the:

Nondescript female protagonists in an animated Disney movie, hierarchy 

not requisite poll.

I wish I could take credit for the full name, but that belongs to my friend Siobhan.

I think I might just call it the Disney Princess poll in the header though. .:)

As with the Pixar movie poll, I will randomly seed all of the princesses I have - currently I have seventeen - the Disney 11 plus six more - but I might have as many as 20. So please come back for that, as I pit the princesses up against each other in  a cage match throw down. 

Thanks again everyone that participated - hope you had fun voting and will tell all your friends. 

Have a great day!

The Great Pixar Feature Film poll, final round unless...

... the movie that hasn't lost yet, loses. In which case there would be a rematch.

You know what? I'm going to throw caution to the wind and go ahead and say that this will be the final round to determine the best Pixar Feature Film, (when put in a double-elimination tournament while being seeded randomly and roughly 40 people vote on each round).

Got that?

Good.

So in the last round The Incredibles took on Finding Nemo, and you know what? That fish can punch and he caught baby jack-jack square in the jaw and he was down for the count. Wasn't even close.

Now I need to inform you that my blog polling place is having some sort of trouble and I couldn't the final results from there, but the last time I checked the score was 9-3 in favor of the clown fish with the bad fin. Added to the fact the office polling and unless there are some hidden votes in a closet somewhere, the super heroes met their match. The score I am going with is 24-9, for Nemo.

So that means Finding Nemo will now go up against Monster's Inc in the big finale, 

I also found a different vendor for my free polls.

So now it is up to you... VOTE!!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round seven.

Hello,

Did you miss me?

I was busy busy busy and completely forgot to post this update. Actually, I was shocked that it wasn't posted already, and was planning on posting the final round post, well maybe final round, but I'll get to that when the time comes.

First off, I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to vote on these, be it my co-workers (who think I'm crazy) or my Plurk buddies, or everyone else that has voted. Y'all rock!

On to the results from the last round...

The Incredibles beat Up by the score of 21-19, which means that The Incredibles will now face off against Finding Nemo to determine who will go up against Monster's Inc for the chance to be champion.

Here are the rankings, as determined by your votes, up to now...

13. Cars
12. Cars 2
11. A Bug's Life
10. Brave
9. Toy Story 2
8. Ratatouille
7. Wall-E
6. Toy Story
5. Toy Story 3
4. Up
3.
2.
1.

This round will determine who will be the final two. Again, this does not mean that Cars is a bad movie - not at all. Like I've said before, I really don't think that there is a bad Pixar movie, I just was looking to see what your ideas were, when given a completely random seeding in a double-elimination tournament.

So here is this rounds poll, may the best movie win.

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round (the one that narrows the field to three) six

Wow!

Talk about close.

All three polls were within three votes of each other, and now comes the task of eliminating one movie per round, the next round and this one will determine who will go on to challenge...

Monster's Inc in the final, after they dispatched Finding Nemo 21 to 18. Monster's will get a break now as they have to wait the movie that comes out of the next two rounds.

As a result of the last poll both remaining Toy Story movies have been eliminated; both by the final tally of 20 to 19 by Up, which defeated the original Toy Story, The Incredibles which took care of Toy Story 3.

That leaves us with this interesting battle between a heart warming story about an old man and a young boy finding out that they like each other, and the 'cone of shame' was introduced to the world - well at least me.
Up  will go up against a group of super heroes that have been banished because their good has made some people angry, and someone from one super hero's past comes back to make everyone super, so no one will be. The Incredibles is more of a movie than what may have initially met the eye.

Okay, there you have it, and the poll is below - may the best movie win and go on to face Finding Nemo to determine who will go up against Monster's Inc in the grand finale!






Thanks again for voting and have a great day!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round five

I believe that we have reached the quarterfinals, or would it be semifinals?

Regardless, we are down to our final six films. All of which are great films, in my humble opinion.

The results from round four are as follows:

Finding Nemo, narrowly beat up with 20 votes to 18, so the will move on to face the other undefeated feature film...

Monsters Inc., which easily dispatched Toy Story 3. I'm not sure if it's because of all the hype that the new Monster's University is getting or not, but this was a tough choice for me, and I am surprised that it didn't appear to be for others as the final tally was 23 votes to 15.

Next up we have four films that will be fighting it out for the chance to get to the loser bracket championship - if there is such a thing.

The Incredibles took care of Ratatouille by the score of 23 to 15 and will face...

Toy Story, who took care of Wall-E 25 votes to 13. I thought Wall-E would fare better, alas it wasn't the case as Toy Story is coming on strong.

So, the match ups this week are as follows:














Now go out and vote, and don't forget to poll your family members and invite your friends! For family members, feel free to send me an email or include their votes in the comments below. Let their voices be heard! The polls will close on Thursday.

Have a great day!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round four

The votes are in and we have four less competitors!

Some competitions were very close, while one was a definite blowout.

Round three results...

Ratatouille - 16
A Bug's Life - 13
Ratatouille wins and moves on to face (Read on). I'll be honest with you here, I was pulling for A Bug's Life to get a little more love, but the voter's didn't agree with my feelings.

The Incredibles -18
Brave - 11
So The Incredibles will move on to face Ratatouille in the next round.

Wall-E - 15
Toy Story 2 - 13
Wall-E moves on, and one person abstained from voting because they just couldn't choose. I imagine there may be a lot more of that coming in future rounds.

Finally...

Cars 2 - 1
Toy Story - 28
Toy Story basically crushed Cars 2 and all their dreams, and apparently stole one vote from their total from the previous round.

So here are the choices for our fourth round, which will stay active until Sunday...















Enjoy voting and get your family involved, every vote counts and you want your favorite movie to move on. For extra votes leave a comment and tell me how your family voted and I will make sure it gets tabulated back at master control.

Have fun, enjoy voting and have a GREAT weekend!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round three

Welcome back to the tournament ladies and gentlemen, have we got a barn burner going on here!

Okay, no barns are getting burned and to be quite honest, I have no idea why I wrote that. Let's get to the tournament results from round two and the match ups for round three, shall we?

We shall.

First, a recap of the standings, which were chosen by random. In other words, I am not owning that.

1. Ratatouille (bye)
2. Monster's Inc. (bye)
3. Cars 2 (bye)
4. Cars
5. Toy Story
6. Toy Story 3
7. Wall-E
8. Up
9. Toy Story 2
10. A Bug's Life
11. Brave
12. Finding Nemo
13. The Incredibles

Okay, got it? so in the first round we had Up beating Toy Story 2; The Incredibles beating Cars; Finding Nemo beating Toy Story; Wall-E beating A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 3 beating Brave. 

This lead to the following:

Ratatouille - 13

Up - 21

So Up moves on...

The Incredibles - 16

Finding Nemo - 18

Finding Nemo continues on...

Monster's Inc. - 27

Wall-E - 7

Monster's crushed the competition...

Cars 2 - 2

Toy Story 3 - 32

All I can say is OUCH!

Toy Story - 25

Cars - 9

Cars has been eliminated from the competition, which is a huge surprise in my humble opinion, but the voters have spoken...  

So now we have round three, are you ready?

How about now?

Ready yet?

Okay.

We're in the losers bracket for this round, which means that whichever film loses is eliminated.

Happy Voting!!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round two

Round one is over and in the books.

There were 37 votes for each poll, which is great! (Thank You!) Hopefully round two will have at least that many.

The results from round one are as follows:

Up - 20
Toy Story 2 - 17
Up advances... I'm a little surprised by this outcome, but happy as well.

Cars - 16
The Incredibles - 21
The Incredibles advance... this result sets up two interesting contests, one of which will eliminate the film with the lowest vote count.

Toy Story - 16
Finding Nemo - 21
Finding Nemo advances... A lot of people commented on this one being a really tough choice.

Wall-E - 23
A Bug's Life - 14
Wall-E moves on.... I think A Bug's Life gets a bad rap, for some reason, but I really like that movie.

Toy Story 3 - 25
Brave - 12
Toy Story 3 advances.... I must add that I thought Brave would do a lot better, but what do I know, right?

On to round two and the match ups are as follows, please vote and get your kids to vote. Just send me an email with their votes, since the poll will only count your vote once, unless you can connect from a different IP Address. :)

















In case you didn't know, let me remind you that the last match up between Cars and Toy Story will eliminate the lowest vote total from the poll, and the film will finish in 13th place.

No pressure.


Happy voting!

The Great Pixar Feature Film Poll, round one

Hello one and all,.

Welcome to round one of the Great Pixar Feature Film Poll!

Now like many of you, I have enjoyed all of the Pixar films that have made it to the big screen, some more than others. I decided  to see what film would generate the most votes in a double elimination tournament of all thirteen films that have been released to date.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

The seeding process was completely random - I used some fancy computer program that generated an entire bracket for me, you can see it here if you want the details, but it is not necessary for the purposes of this humble blog.

All you need to do is vote.

Here, at this blog.

I will do all the hard work of keeping track. Okay I know it really isn't that hard, I hope. I will then give you the results and the next round match ups, comment with your predictions, test your skill.

I'll keep the polls up for roughly 48 hours, to give any stragglers a chance to get their vote in, and allow me a little leeway, in case life gets in the way - or something.

The seeding is as follows:

1. Ratatouille (bye)
2. Monster's Inc. (bye)
3. Cars 2 (bye)
4. Cars
5. Toy Story
6. Toy Story 3
7. Wall-E
8. Up
9. Toy Story 2
10. A Bug's Life
11. Brave
12. Finding Nemo
13. The Incredibles

Like I said, random.

No bias.

Double Elimination.

Let round one commence!

Thanks for voting!
